For the first time in almost fifty years the traditional Ambrosian rite — the rite of the Church of Milan as it was prior to the post-conciliar reforms—was publicly celebrated again in the most emblematic temple of the Ambrosian tradition. The event, that took place this past Sunday, December 15, in the Basilica of Saint Ambrose is part of the events of the Jubilee Year proclaimed by the archdiocese.
The spectacular images were taken by Don Elvir Tabakovic, and are available here.
